Bill Cosby Cancels Boston Show Due To Weather, But Protestors Could Have Been Another Reason

Bill Cosby was supposed to stop at the Wilbur Theatre as part of his comedy tour on Sunday night. But on Sunday morning, the Wilbur cancelled the show, citing the snowstorm that has been plaguing Bostonians all day as the reason for the cancellation. Cosby said in a statement:

“I have decided to cancel for your travel safety. No need to worry, I will be back soon to raise the roof with laughter.”

Cosby and The Wilbur are clear that the cancellation is due to weather concerns, rather than the planned protests of the event. Cosby spokesperson Andrew Wyatt said that the cancellation was entirely unrelated to the protests, and they are working to reschedule the show.

Please note that despite Cosby's cancellation of tonight's shows, we will STILL be gathering at 6:30 PM outside of The Wilbur in a show of SOLIDARITY with survivors who have come forward and those who have not, against Bill Cosby, his war against women and rape culture at large. With over 30 survivors, countless interviews & articles written, this is not a conspiracy against him or his legacy, this is an uprising of truth. Because it has taken over thirty years for these stories to be considered valid, their voices and message will not be silenced. Join us in amplifying the voices of survivors; calling on The Wilbur to commit to NOT rescheduling Mr. Cosby; and calling on Cosby to STOP PERFORMING and to STAND TRIAL in court with survivors by waiving the statue of limitations!

Is the event's cancellation entirely unrelated to the protests, and will they actually reschedule? It seems like this is a good way for The Wilbur to avoid angering both protestors and Bill Cosby's people. In the meantime, the Boston protestors have a snowy night ahead of them.
